#worst situationship known to man

stupid scientists

[tarteaumiel]

hi. do you guys see my vision.

[shotmrmiller]

What’s Toxic situationship simon when reader comes home from the pub making out with another man, cuz if he’s not exclusive to reader, why should she be exclusive to him? Right?

Simon just standing in a shadowy corner awaiting for his presence to be known.

you know the fucking deal. he's toxic aka extremely possessive. if he could piss on you to mark his territory he would but can't so naturally he does the next best thing which is ignore every boundary you set.

kissing to a minimum? kisses you like a long lost lover while fucking you like he missed you.

marks? littered with love bites and only where you can't cover them (fuck your concealer it's his now)

he leaves things at your place so you're forced to explain whose they are when you bring a date. a big, worn leather jacket thrown over your only gaming/desk chair. extra toothbrush with the bristles almost completely flattened. pair of work shoes you hadn't even known he'd left behind. (he bought another pair the morning he left your place, walked into academy with socked feet.)

he calls you at the worst time (aka tracks your gps and if you're at any sort of restaurant post 5 pm he's calling)

if youre real adamant on going on this one date, he's sending you with his cum dripping onto the sheer knickers you'd bought just for the occasion and will await your return. let him know if you need a ride. (will wait downstairs for you to pull up to get you out of that pathetic little car. "as small as he is, eh?" the guy can't/wont say shit unless he fancies picking up his own teeth off the sidewalk.)

HELLOOOO i see you opened ur req👀 can I req for suna or atsumu suddenly getting a girlfriend, like hardlaunching her on social media, after almost a year of being on and off... can it be angst to comfort/fluff (pls i want to cope so bad from my prev situationship bahaaaaahahha) tysm just so u know i love u and ur works and prolly the first one to like em immediately>< <3

CASUAL.

PAIRING. Atsumu Miya x f!Reader

CW. hurt/comfort, angst to fluff, situationship-to-relationship lol

A/N. ouchhh i hope this is good anon ><

Being in a situationship with Atsumu Miya was the absolute worst.

Sometimes it felt like he was stringing you along in his little game, while other times it felt like you two were truly meant to be together. 

There were many invisible boundaries in the relationship, or talking stage, or whatever he wanted to call it, that were made without having to say a thing. 

It was mutually exclusive, so no talking to other people romantically.

You two didn’t post each other on social media.

The two of you would make it official when you both were ready.

The rules were easy to follow. Though, you had always been a bit iffy on the third one. When would the two of you deem yourselves “ready” when you’ve already been talking for so long?

———

The worst part about Atsumu, was that he was so indecisive. 

One minute, the two of you could be acting as if you were a married couple. Going on dates, spending time at each other’s houses, and late night calls. The two of you even had pet names for each other! 

But then the next minute, he decides his volleyball career is more important. Or that he’s too busy. Or that he wants a break. Or that you’re too controlling. So many excuses, yet every time he calls out to you to come back, you come running back head over heels. 

And it hurts. It hurts being with him even though you two had never made it official. How could you feel so tethered and intertwined with a man who never had the guts to ask you to be his and only his? Who never posts you on social media?

You weren’t controlling. You were just tired of this cat and mouse game. You just wanted certainty and reassurance. 

Was that so much to ask for?

Apparently for Atsumu Miya, it is.

“I don’t get it Atsumu, why can’t we just say we’re together? Everyone already knows we basically are!” you sigh. 

The two of you sat in his apartment as the TV played in the midst of your argument. This was definitely one of the worst arguments that had occurred between you two.

“If we’re basically together then why can’t you just be happy? Do I need to ask you out? To post you?” he rebuttals, his voice clearly agitated.

“Because! You haven’t asked me out. That stuff is the bare minimum yet I’m here begging. You’re so comfortable in this weird limbo talking stage where it’s so easy for you to leave me and then hope I come crawling back!” you cry, you hadn’t even realized you started to cry. “I’m so, so tired of this shit!”

“If you’re so tired, then leave!”

Usually during the short breaks of your situationship with Atsumu Miya, it was always him who had decided to call it off. But his words had snapped a cord in you that had already been thinned to its last thread.

The two of you share a tense look, both unmoving. It’s you who decides to break the silence.

“Me? Leave? Hah, fine. I will,” you’re quick to grab your bag on the side table.

“Wait, Y/N-”

“And don’t expect me to come crawling back to you, Miya. This time you really did it,”

He freezes when you open the door, eyes filled with tears as you look back at him. 

“Bye,”

The door shuts before he could say anything.

What was he supposed to do now?

———

If Atsumu knew one thing for sure, it was that he was stupid. 100%, a million times over, he was an idiot.

His concept of love and relationships were hindered during his high school days. The ability to commit was a hard idea to grasp onto. 

But you were different. 

You were kind and patient, unlike any one he’s ever known, and he was undeniably scared. Scared to lose you, scared to fuck up. And so what did he do every time he got scared?

He ran away and gave you some bullshit excuse. But even then, you’d come back time and time again.

But now it is different. He told you to leave and you really did. You wouldn’t come back to him willingly.

Atsumu’s stupid. That’s why he’s at your doorstep in the rain.

He rings the doorbell. He’s shocked when you open it on the first attempt.

“What are you doing?” your quiet voice says.

Atsumu takes in your disheveled appearance. You definitely had been crying based on your swollen eyes.

“I—” Atsumu can’t find the words. He’s really scared.

“If you’re going to yell at me or ask me to come back, you better be ready to beg me Atsumu, I’m not doing a stupid “talking stage” or some cheap crap you come up with,”

“I’m sorry, I-l fucked up really bad,”

You don’t say anything in response, allowing him to continue. 

“I love you so much,” he’s stuttering, “I’m really scared but I want to try with you, I want to be with you, for real this time,”

“And if I say yes, are you just going to leave me when it’s convenient for you?” your own voice sounds a bit hesitant. 

“No, no. I promise you. I mean everything that’s coming out of my mouth,”

You look like you’re lost in thought for a split second before you speak. “I’ll be with you, Atsumu. For real,” you smile as you mock his words.

Another moment passes by, and before you know it, you’re kissing him and he kisses you.

"The Big Four"™ Headcanons!

Pin oral stims when she's nervous (Chewing on her nails, sleeves, etc etc) + affectionately bites Coiny when nobody else's around (which surprises him)

Coiny and Pin are embarrassingly clingy towards eachother (always asking where the other is, thinking about what the other would think, mentioning them at any given moment)

Leafy has clipboard lists for EVERYTHING. Organizing an event, random memories, her iconic nice list™, her CHRISTMAS THEMED nice list..™, etc etc. She has a specific orange clipboard that's a list of things Firey likes and dislikes (Firey doesn't know yet)

Coiny has a tooth gap, and loves to use it to whistle (It annoys everybody)

Firey and Coiny both had a crush on eachother at one point, mostly in early BFDI, but neither of them knew how to handle it or that it was even a crush so they opted to act like they hate eachother instead. Both will deny this to the high heavens

Firey loves action/superhero comics, despite not being able to read very well. He sometimes asks one of the other three to read it to him, but rarely out of embarrassment

Leafy and Coiny had an experimental 'situationship' in late pre-split after Leafy argued with Firey. It was more of an emotional thing for both of them, both wanting somebody to receive those emotional needs and give them. It ended during the split on good terms, where they both decided it'd be healthier for them to part ways for now.

Coiny had an identity crisis starting in mid BFDIA up to now (this'll have it's own post, but I thought I'd mention it in passing)

The four of them have movie nights a lot, which results in a lot of chaos. Pin being the one to make the popcorn and get the snacks, Firey and Coiny fighting over which movie to choose, and Leafy finding their arguing more entertaining than any movie.

Firey instinctually warms himself up for anybody he's hugging, which results in Leafy being VERY clingy (not like he minds)

Leafy probably has one of those "Keep Calm And Be Kind" t-shirts

Coiny has a HUGE sweet tooth, mostly because of Pin and her pastries. Has been found hiding in the cabinet while eating sweets (He regrets nothing)

Coiny's the shortest out of the four of them, often falls victim to short jokes. Firey leans his elbow on his head a lot to annoy him

Pin pinches everybody's cheeks, sue me

Pin loves to run her hands through Coiny's hair or fidget with it in some way whenever they're having an intimate moment

Coiny has the worst sleep schedule known to man (goes to sleep at 2-3 AM and wakes up at 6 AM), usually stays up playing videogames or watching cartoons

He also found a hat (the beanie in my gijinka for him) during early BFDIA and kept it, and ended up getting super attached to it (he'll go rabid if he loses it)

Firey loves to wear dresses. Leafy dresses him up 24/7, no embarrassment nor shame is detected whatsoever. It's fun for the both of them

Leafy gets really emotional during ungodly hours, Firey's learning how to comfort people better through her. She always appreciates everything he does

Somewhat adding onto the last HC, Firey lacks empathy in contrast to Coiny, who has high empathy. He's learning how to comfort people better and put himself in their shoes, and be less emotionally distant

[jeyneofpoole]

hello as a resident franklin expedition person do you have any recommendations for further reading about it/polar history in general?

yes!!!!! for dipping your toes into the franklin expedition specifically i would start with erebus: the story of a ship by michael palin (yes, the guy from monty python. this book contains more anecdotes than hard facts but is a fun introductory read and it’s honestly really funny). probably the most well-known book about the franklin expedition is frozen in time by dr. owen beattie + john geiger, some of the information i believe has been disputed in the years since publication (published in the 80’s) but the descriptions of the exhumations of the beechey bodies are gorgeous and visceral and it’s by far one of the most ethical and humane exhumations/studies on gravesites that i’ve ever read about. THEN you can graduate to real freak territory and read may we be spared to meet on earth, a collection of all of the letters that the members of the expedition sent before and during the first portion of the journey. others to hit that i haven’t read yet are james fitzjames: the mystery man of the franklin expedition (again, some information like that concerning jfj’s birth has since been disproven, but it’s by far the most comprehensive biography of him that exists. battersby reallyyyyyy loved the guy), unraveling the franklin expedition: inuit testimony (this one is on my shelf! deals, obviously, with the widely disregarded testimony of the indigenous people of the region), and the man who ate his own boots.

now for miscellaneous polar books i would start with endurance by alfred lansing, it’s a classic and was written at a time when members of the endurance crew were still alive, so lansing had exclusive access to multiple firsthand accounts. the only nonfiction that’s ever made me cry. my most recent polar read was madhouse at the end of the earth by julian sancton and i can’t recommend it enough. about the dysfunctional belgica expedition, but also a great introduction to roald amundsen’s whole… thing. super fun. i’m also about to start the worst journey in the world by apsley cherry-garrard, which deals with the scott expedition from the point of view of someone who was actually there. it’s mostly a memoir. for a fun one i have a polar fiction rec that is NOT the terror. where the dead wait by ally wilkes was a super fun read and it’s obvious that they watched the terror and went down the same pipeline that i did. evil gay situationship in the arctic circle supplemented by cannibalism and psychosis is always very fun, they have a second book about antarctica i believe, it’s on my shelf but i haven’t gotten to it yet. thanks so much for asking ily 🫶🫶🫶

The Avengers as High School Friend Group Archetypes

Tony Stark: Mentally ill friend. Made too many suicide jokes so his friends forced him into therapy. Flakes out on plans a lot. Either has a God complex or the worst self-esteem known to humankind. Freaks everyone out when he texts goodbye in the gc without context (he's just going on a business trip)

Bucky Barnes: Black cat. Hisses at everyone but Steve. Great at holding his boundaries but comes off aloof. Nobody is sure if he actually likes them but would secretly kill for all his friends. Hides in shadows and jumpscares everyone with his lurking. Secretly naps on Sam's bed when no one's looking

Steve Rogers: Mom friend. Always has granola bars, Tylenol, and a Tide to Go on him. Organizes the group hangouts and reminds everyone when they have a dentist appointment. Everyone's parents love him, "you can go if Steve's going" vibe. Constantly getting his friends out of trouble (secretly encourages them). His romantic life is a disaster

Thor Odinson: Gym bro. Eats eggs, chicken and rice everyday. Forces his friends to join him in the gym and comments about them not eating enough protein. Genuinely cares for their health, will get them out of bed for food and fresh air when they're sad. Goes through protein powder like Tony went through cocaine in the 80s

Peter Parker: Annoying little brother. Someone's mom definitely made them bring him to the big kid hangout. Everyone bullies him but he doesn't realize it, he just likes the attention from the cool older kids. Sam and Bucky hold him upside down from his ankles till he gets dizzy and Steve makes them put him down. Everyone is super protective of him when he's outside the friend group (hey, only we get to be mean to him)

Sam Wilson: Therapist friend. Gets way too many texts at 3 am. Extremely emotionally mature but laughs at fart jokes. Knows everyone's trauma and will use it against them if provoked. Strangers randomly vent to him in public. Gentle parents adults when they're upset. Nobody ever asks him how he is

Natasha Romanoff: Man hater. All her best friends are men and none of them are actually sure if she's joking about hating them. Mean but never takes things too far. Flirts constantly because she thinks it's funny but is really awkward and bad at it when she genuinely likes someone. Hates when someone treats her like a man / "one of the bros", wishes she had more female friends

Bruce Banner: Bad luck friend. Can not catch a break. Everytime they hear from him something new has gone wrong in his life. His dog threw up on his bed, his computer broke before a huge deadline, his favourite sweater shrunk in the dryer. Just a disaster of a human. Constantly has some minor injury, from inexplicable bruises to a sprained wrist. Never having a good day but tries to remain positive. Anxious

Clint Barton: Class clown. Will make a fool of himself in front of every pretty girl in his vicinity. Is actually only funny half the time, the other half he's just loudly wrong. Confidence is key for him. Can charm and talk his way out of anything. Will make everyone laugh at the worst moments. Women reject him because he has a girl best friend

Wanda Maximoff: Boy crazy. Is ready to talk about her crush, boyfriend, or situationship at any given moment. Is never single for longer than a month. Will not take shit from a man and makes sure her and her friends are treated properly. Surprisingly good at balancing her friendships and relationships, doesn't neglect people. Has Pinterest boards for her wedding, dream home, and decor. Wants to be a stay at home mom. Big Swiftie and went to the Eras Tour

Pietro Maximoff: Unemployed friend. Always doing the most random thing on a Tuesday morning. One day he's kayaking in British Columbia, the next he's joined an MLM scam. He has a new cat? He adopted him from Istanbul on that trip no one knows about. He's drinking fresh lemonade? He actually volunteers with disabled elderly and Doris gives him lemons from her tree. Knows how to cook a turkey. Unclear if he's homeless or not, usually sleeping on a friend's couch or at a random woman's place (still on the couch)

Oops!...I Did It Again

Ch 2: Lucky Charm

Pairing: Nanami Kento x reader

Warnings: Use of profanities and curse words, power dynamics, toxic work culture

Synopsis: When life was throwing you uncountable curveballs, an unexpected reunion with your high school friend helped you dodge every single one of them. Coping mechanisms leave you both in a complicated situationship. So what happens when one of you ends up catching feelings? The cliche or the unexpected?

Jujutsu Kaisen Masterlist

Ch 1

Naoya Zenin was a menace. A woman-hating man-child who was also an out-and-proud nepotism baby. He was a nightmare to work with, and it didn't help that you were his secretary. The pay was good, very good, but you didn't know how long you could tolerate his trashy behavior. For now, you have to go with the flow and put up with his issues to avoid pulling three part-timers a day. Which was why you were redoing the whole file work because he didn't like the original font. You were sure the font did not matter to him; he was just enjoying his time moonwalking on your last nerve and misusing his position to make you feel inferior or something along those lines.

"Get me a grilled steak and green salad from that French place", Naoya ordered as the clock hit 12.

It was lunch time, commonly known as his infamous "booty hour", where he would invite a woman from the department to discuss a crucial company matter until his lunch arrived. What was worse was the fact that he would expect you to instruct the delivery person to take the food inside his office while he went at it. Some weird kink of his that got him off. But being the compassionate human you are, a friendly warning was provided instead. However, the same couldn't be said about you. Today was not your lucky day, as your order was declined due to traffic problems, and you had to inform that ass of a man about it.

"Um, sir, would you like to order something else? They're not taking online orders today", you asked, already expecting a dramatic reaction from him.

"Just go get it then, and better make it quick; I don't like my food cold."

The sheer audacity this man had was unbelievable. So fucking ill-mannered and rude that you could easily see yourself killing him. Before you could give him a piece of your mind, in a very toned-down way, of course, a woman entered the office, which was your cue to leave. She was very pretty, and it was a pity that she was there to entertain your boss. It's not like she was forced to, but you're sure that she wants a promotion, and this was the only way. With the experience of two weeks here, you were enlightened with the information about the consultation department being the worst of all when it came to the work environment and treatment of staff. And there was literally nothing anyone could do about it, not even the HR department, because the person on top of the food chain was affiliated with the Zenin family. So you did your job and kept quiet like everyone else.

You felt disgusted as you walked out of the office. The huge pay makes sense now. No one would voluntarily want to work with a jerk like Naoya. For someone from such an influential family, he was too ignorant to survive in the real world. And although he was actually good at what he did, his problematic behavior left no space for praise. But at the end of the day, it was true that he was your boss, and it was also true that you were literally running an errand for him right now. Complaining is all you can do, which was tiring. It is what it is. So with a smile on your face, you entered the restaurant and ordered a grilled steak seasoned with extra pepper and a green salad to go. Yes, it was childish and petty; however, you don't remember him saying "please" while requesting either, so a little spice makes it even now.

You looked around for an empty seat to sit on while you waited, and just then you saw a familiar face offering you one beside him. Oh, he was totally an angel in disguise. You remember that in high school, he helped you several times. Like that one time when you were late for PE class and he lied on your behalf to save you from punishment, or that one time when he helped you revise the whole syllabus minutes before the test, or the one where he stayed awake the whole night to keep you company at a sleepover because you were hellbent on completing the horror movie marathon, or the one where he held your hand while the doctor informed you about your parents' deaths. Nanami Kento was a kind person. A Lucky Charm. And the same kind person found out that you left the city a day before his 19th birthday without telling him.

"Are you stalking me?", you said with a playful smile as you sat down.

"Are you planning on leaving without a word again?", he countered, reciprocating your smirk.

"Oh, so we're going that way, huh", you replied, chuckling. It was not awkward, but you didn't feel like explaining that situation.

"Are we? Anyway, what are you doing in this part of town? Fancy something French?", he asked, changing the subject.

"Oh no. I'm here to get food for a walking STD", you stated almost immediately.

"Interesting. Please elaborate", Nanami said, unsure if he was just entertaining your rant or genuinely invested.

"It's my boss. He's such a douchebag. I can't stand him, but I have to since I'm his assistant. It's exhausting having to sit through his bullshit. He just never shuts up, you know. Legit crap comes out of his mouth. And honestly, he knows his shit, I'll give him that, but the guy's hopeless when it comes to basic human decency. God, he's trash", you stopped knowing well that you could go on forever.

"That sounds like a lot. Why not switch? The company, I mean", Nanami questioned.

You were hesitant, almost uncomfortable, with him knowing about your employment crisis. For some reason, you didn't want him to look at you any differently than he did before. You didn't want him to view you as a failure. Maybe it was the inferiority complex or whatever, but you just wanted to avoid the topic. Fortunately for you, your order was ready, and so were you, to leave. With that, you said your goodbyes, promising to catch up again.

"Sir, you have a meeting with the head of the marketing department at 3", you said while organizing his schedule.

"Yeah, that. Let's go; you're coming with me. I need someone to carry the paperwork", he said nonchalantly.

It was while working with him, that you noticed that Naoya Zenin had a knack for enraging people. But trying your best to pay him no mind, you followed him with your hands full to the meeting auditorium. Once you reached the well-furnished venue, he instructed you to arrange the files and leave. Damn, this job was hitting on all the tough spots of your already bruised ego. You opened the door to leave, only to bump into a large man. A large man in a white tuxedo with blonde hair, to be specific. Who knew that on your way out, you would bump into Nanami Kento of all people?

okay I tried to post this with like the longest caption known to man explaining what's going on in this painting but it deleted itself so I think that was my sign to stop yapping. this is my hero of brightwall caspian, I've posted her before, every time I think about her for too long she gets worse. she's like the worst ever. but this drawing is in her brief normal girl era where she stops being an asshole to the kingdom and the people around her. significance of the background is that reaver is her father (I KNOWWW 😭) and the gazebo thing in the middle of bower lake is where she got married. ALSO she dies one year after this down by the lake. the picnic over to the side is a lot to explain but it has to do with her weird situationship with a priest if anyone's interested I'll post more about that it's kinda crazy

[11x13kyle]

that one argument that nick and stav had on cum town as the boys

kyle: we're able to leave in peace. i go off to whatever i'm gonna do, cartman dies--

cartman: no???

kyle: kenny lives off his situationship's journalism money until she gets tired of that and that ends.

kenny (their guest that invited himself on this particular episode): oh i think she probably is already!

cartman: i'll live a long, fruitful life, raising children and grandchildren on a meadow with a farm, fresh berries--

kyle: it's so funny that you think that's how your life is gonna go.

cartman: it will, dude.

kyle: it's--you're NOT gonna get control of your weight, it's gonna end tragically.

cartman: you are SUCH a hater

kyle: i'm not a HATER, i care about you--

cartman: no, you don't, you just wanna--you say bad, mean things to people to make them feel bad!

kenny: it's not mean!

kyle: it's not MEAN dude.

kenny: it's maybe a little--

kyle: if i was sitting here--look, if i was sitting here smoking five and a half packs of cigarettes a day, my eyes are yellow, i'm having tumors removed from my mouth--

cartman: that was a random tumor that had nothing to do with my weight--

kyle: and--and i was like "i'll stop smoking when i'm 45!"

cartman: that's not even what i'm saying, man--

Hey Mac! Spotify recently threw a song by the National my way, which made me listen to a few more and man, this is good.

I know you like them too so I thought I'd come by and ask what your personal faves by them are 👀🙏

Hey Alex! Ooh I love that you're enjoying them so far. Thank you for giving me the space to talk your ear off about one of my favourite bands!! I feel like every time I go down the rabbit hole with The National I discover a few more faves, but I'll try to keep this manageable for a tumblr post lol.

I Need My Girl

The National's lead singer Matt Berninger called it "the most direct, earnest love songs we’ve ever written." It's so simple - a song about a man yearning for his wife - but it gets me every time. I know you love a moment of slow, sweet melancholy, so I think you'll like it too.

Mistaken For Strangers

This one reminds me of the friend who introduced me to The National. When he got drunk he would always point to his own jacket during the "showered and blue-blazered" line. In a song about losing friends, what a thing to remember one of the great friendships of my life while listening to it. </3

Day I Die

Speaking of that friend, I went to my first National gig with him. At the time, I didn't really know any other tracks apart from this one, Guilty Party and I Need My Girl, but I'd latched onto this song because it made me Feel Things about a situationship I'd been in a couple of years earlier. When they launched into this live, it was so electric. "Don't do this / I don't do this to you" still makes me want to scream.

Bloodbuzz Ohio

I'm a great lover of The National's lyrics. There might come a point where you're listening to them and you have to stop what you're doing because a line hits you in a place you never thought you'd be hit at like...three pm on a Wednesday. For me, one of those lyrics is from Bloodbuzz Ohio: ""I still owe money to the money to the money I owe / I never thought about love when I thought about home." Maybe my second favourite song they've ever written.

Slow Show

A song for the socially anxious - it's about being out somewhere and just wishing you were home with a person you loved and could feel truly comfortable with. Also, I have been known to make this song about my blorbos at every available opportunity.

Apartment Story

As much of a sweet little love song as The National has ever turned in, and a love letter to happy domesticity. Has a very 'us against the world' vibe.

Graceless

Hands down my favourite song. Its exploration of depression and meds is still unrivalled by anyone imho. I spent the worst parts of the COVID lockdowns blasting this in my living room, and when they performed it at my local gig, I cried buckets.

(Very) honourable mentions:

Guilty Party

England

This Is The Last Time

Afraid of Everyone

Brainy

Don't Swallow the Cap

About Today

Terrible Love

Phew, okay! I'm sure that's way more than you were asking for. Enjoy anyway, my friend ❤️

Meeting Frankie was the worst night of your life, you had just broken up with your last partner and you ran into your military friend Ben. You haven't seen him just yet since he had only been back in town a few days. You were sulking at the bar, and Benny bumped into you, spilling a pitcher of beer on your lap. You stood up and backed Benny against the bar like you were going to punch him. Your right arm is backed to throw a punch when you see the blonde in front of you with a dazzling smile laughing at your fight stance.

"Still feisty as ever, princess," Ben lowers your arm and takes you to his table with his friends.

Seeing all of them attractive as hell. You had melted every guy's heart when you became friends with everyone. That bad night turned into a good one, finding some good friends who liked you for you. 

You kept looking at the brooding brunette with the damn 'Standard Heating Oil' cap shadowing his beautiful face. Frankie "Catfish" Morales.

When you became friends with Frankie, it was like you've known him your entire lifetime. As Frankie made his way into your heart it was like you and him were soulmates, just meeting in this lifetime. Maybe in another lifetime, Frankie would be an older man, and you just be a silly 20-year-old girl fawning over the older gentleman. But this is the platonic break for your souls. 

So many days and hours were spent with Frankie, you want company as you run errands Frankie is there driving you around, just enjoying the mundaneness of life. Frankie needed a small pair of hands to screw in a part for the Jeep, you and him have decided to buy together as a project car, since you both love cars; you were there to help. Late-night liquor store runs. Late night Mcdonald's due to have the munchies. Everyone assumed you two were dating until you asked Ben to fix you up with someone. 

A lot of questions were asked. Confused faces on everyone's face. Frankie trying to act like he was grossed out by the thought of dating you and then you were laughing it off burying down the yearning for him. 

His deep brown eyes burn into your doe eyes. No one says anything, Frankie just continues to hold you. Frankie feels his heart wince because of the look on your face, just so soft and all the walls are broken down. Your eyes flashing the green light but it seems like a mirage to him. Walls are being built on Frankie's side as he unwraps his arms from you and turns back to the fight. 

Your body felt cold without Frankie pressed against you. Dispair hits your stomach, twisting up your insides, and nausea makes you break out into a sweat. You can't make a scene. Not here when you are all there for Benny. You turn towards the cage and try to watch Benny throw punches and then absorb the counter move from his opponent. You recluse into your mind, recalculating every interaction you ever had with Frankie.

Can you and Frankie ever be best friends again?

Does this mean that Frankie is done with you?

If you play with fire too much you are bound to get burned. At this point, you wanted to be set on fire so you wouldn't have to feel rattled awakening. Another 10 minutes went by then Benny announced the winner. The guys were cheering more like just yelling and pushing each other around. You snapped out of your head and started to run to Ben exiting to cage.

"I told ya! I told you'd win, pretty boy!" You threw on a cheery persona and gave him a quick hug before you met up with the rest of the guys.

Will suggests going to the bar, Ben and Pope were walking to the locker room hollering down the hall. You swallowed the knot forming in the back of your throat.

"Alright We'll make you guys there," Will could feel the shift in the air between you and Frankie, and couldn't bear another second of it. 

Frankie opens his mouth and turns watching Will walk away. You sighed and rolled your eyes,

"Shut your mouth you look like a fish," You gritted through your teeth. He snaps his head and looks at you, just an angel with anger festering inside. Frankie swears he watches your halo fall and horns sprout from your head. Becoming someone he doesn't know. 

Where is the princess who just loves her friends?

Who is this girl in front of him?

Did he screw up that bad?

"Watch your mouth, princess," Frankie didn't know what took over him, but here you were between the cinderblock wall and Frankie who never looked so sexy before. Both of his hands make purchase on the wall and his frame towers over you, both of your chests heaving and heavy breathing. A scowl still on your face and that infamous Frankie smirk on his face. You grow enraged, and you push Frankie away, his hand grabs your arm and pulls you to his chest. 

Frankie had to make it right. 

But maybe it's too late.

Frankie swears that each time he tries to make sure he's doing right by you, he screws it up and you only give a finite window to fix his mistake. He wishes that he could have someone tell him to change his ways when it's needed.

He needs to fix this.

Your relationship.

Platonic.

Romantic.

You put up a fight and just gave up and let him hold you. It was time to let you have happiness, a life with the one person who knows you. Breathe, breathe, breathe, and just cry into his brown eyes. This is the millionth time crying to Frankie.

"O-ohh...Frankie, I love you," You spin his arms and cup his face just itching to feel his skin on yours.

"Do you think you could love me?"

Your question stuns him. How could he not love you? Yes, you have your baggage but so does everyone else. 

"Oh, sweetheart..." Frankie brushes the hair out of your face and just loves how pretty you look when you cry. The tears glistened in your waterline drawing more attention to them.

"You're too precious. I love you for your faults and all." Frankie chuckles and helps you embrace the blooming love that is coming out of your heart.

"Because that is what you do when you're madly in love with somebody," His words are just so heavy and meaningful. You always said Frankie's a secret hopeless romantic just like you are. 

You smiled and sniffled, Frankie wipes away the trickling tears from your eyes. 

"You have to promise me one thing, princess," 

"Anything,"

"You don't even know what I was going to say." Frankie laughs a bit and shakes his head at you. 

"I know but I'll do anything for you."

"No more playing games. No more of this 'more than friends but less than lovers' bullshit."

"I promise."

Frankie appreciates your promise with a kiss. It's been a while since a kiss from Frankie, a deep kiss, teeth clinking together, your fingers brushing through his hair and taking off the cap. His nose bumping yours, and his hands resting on your hips pulling you closer by the belt loops.

"I fucking told you guys!" Benny shouts, you jump in the kiss and Frankie doesn't move one muscle besides his tongue licking into your mouth. 

Frankie breaks the kiss and looks into your eyes while the hallway sounds like a middle school with all the whistling and catcalling coming from the guys pretending to gawk at Frankie. "The Princess and the Catfish!" Pope tries to make a joke and everyone including you groaned in dismay. 

"C'mon, we are celebrating the win!" Benny clasped his hand over Frankie's shoulder fixing his cap and pulling it over his eyes. You pushed Ben off of Frankie and fixed the mistake Benny made. Frankie smiles when you come into view, eyes tinted pink from crying, your lips swollen from the kiss.

"My place or yours?" You asked with a cotton candy fluff tone. 

That same question still makes his heart race. 

"Your apartment since it's closer," Frankie smiles and intertwines your hand with his and walks you to your car and watching you drive away to the bar.

Frankie could feel 3 pairs of eyes on him, his chest rose up and down before he faced them. All their faces were straight as they saw a tired look in Frankie's eyes. 

The drive to the bar was quiet, Benny not wanting to ask Frankie the question they were all wondering. 

Is Frankie happy?

You had a table with 4 beers and one cranberry vodka. You were giddy in your seat while you waved over 4 of the scary-looking guys.

Will makes a toast to Ben on his win and 'to Frankie and Princess for finally ending the games.' Frankie takes a drink of the beer and your hand rests on his thigh, he swallows hard and feels like in a dream state.

You with the guys, sitting next to him, touching him in front of everyone, finally letting go of whatever fears you had about being in a relationship again. A small pit in Frankie's stomach with each laugh that comes out your mouth, every hand rubbing up and down his thigh.

How long will you be like this? Is this going to be forever or until you get in your head?

laughing so bad imagining foxes vs kevjean

kevin: guys this is my boyfriend jean yayyyy yippeeeeee!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😆😁😆

foxes: EWWWW NOOOOOOO EWWWWWWW BOOOOOOOOO GODDDD EWWWWWWW GAGGGGG

how would you feel if your friend who is known for being bad at standing up for himself started dating someone he met at the worst point of his life and that person, on top of being extremely mean and hateful, not only has worked against the best interest of you and your friends in the past but also had a brief situationship with another friend of yours a few months before. and he’s FRENCH. let’s be real they’re eating jean up in that groupchat. my man is getting rinsed. no survivors

almost none of that is jean’s fault within context but the foxes are very unsympathetic people with a knack for assuming the worst of every situation. i would give jean perhaps five minutes of civilized conversation with any of them before someone asks if he’s planning on fucking anyone else in their friend group soon
